Iskra Velitchkova plays reverse engineer to mother nature in a series of generative prints.
Iskra has a unique take on the relationship between humans and machines. She asks whether, by amplifying the immaterial parts of ourselves, machines can make us more human than ever.
This question runs in parallel to the seemingly-organic forms found throughout her practice. The apparition of such forms in generative outputs underscores our inevitable presence in the machines we make. When they do emerge, Iskra “refines, provokes and re-invents” them to better understand the resemblance – echoing nature’s happy accidents within her own coded creations in a process she likens to reverse engineering.
EYENESSLESS builds upon another series, Lines and Bones. Ocular, lens-like forms embody the themes of distance and perception that persist in Iskra’s theoretical framework. The artworks look back, echoing her reading of generative art as a tool for introspection, or a second self.
Close collaboration with printmakers at Make-Ready in London, using cutting edge printing technology, introduced another layer of interface between human and technology to the project – informing the code itself and placing unexpected emphases within its outputs.

Iskra Velitchkova1 collaborationIskra Velitchkova wants to present humanity the way machines see us, to see if we learn anything about ourselves from their perspective. Her generative code often riffs on man-made objects. Fallopian Visitor (2023), for example, began as a study on lamps. Along the way, organic forms emerged – like a phallic tower rising out of undulating curves. Iskra asked “what does eroticism signify within an artwork generated by code? Should it, or indeed, must it, be subject to the same scrutiny as human expressions of sensuality?” These questions point us back to ourselves, and the meanings we impose on our bodies and the world around them.
